    I wrote my compiler in Haskell because it seemed that it’d be much less hassle compared to do it in a object oriented or procedual language.

    That is not a feeling I’d associate with Haskell!!

      But it definitely was, oh and when you compared the results, I don’t remember the exact number anymore but compared to especially the solutions in Java and C++ the haskell ones used around 1/10 of the lines of code to solve this particular problem. Because in the end this problem really has a recursive nature.
